Music MONDAYS on TOOSDAY this week

Hiya sistahs!  I hope you had a great weekend.  We Canadians had a long weekend.. with Ryan working so much, I have become a REAL hockey mom.. with practice, I am able to get Tyler dressed in 12 minutes flat!  (and the jock is in the right place.. you don’t wanna know where it went the first time I put it on him..LOL)

In any event, don’t have much time to BLAB.. :(.. Have to set up for the show this week but after singing tunes with Paulabella last week for 1.5 hours on the phone last week, I decided to put my favorite song videos on mondays.. some sad, some happy, some inspiring but I love them.  I love looking at other people’s playlists,.. I always find it inspiring!  So here goes..  The first one this week is by Carly Simon from the 80’s.. the movie WORKING GIRL with Melanie Griffith and Joan Cusack.  Whenever I hear this song, I get the shivers and just want to create, and succeed at whatever I am creating..LOL… This song really inspires me.

Let me know what you thinky!

Let the River Run by Carly Simon

Mwah to da sistahs who are ALWAYS inspired

Bellarific Friday, Jenny Craig and my HAIR DILEMMA.. hmph

Hiya sistahs!  Hope you had a great week and enjoyed the videos.. there are many more to come.. I PLOMISE you will have EONS to actually LAFF at me… it shall nevah end.

First things first.  So I have my weigh ins every Friday at Jenny Craig and this morning I had a BIG dilemma.  Now I am sure a normal person would NOT have these dilemmas but we are not talking about someone normal.. right? RIGHT.  I had to wash my hair this morning and since this week was a quasi bad eating week.. don’t ask… I said to myself “SELF?”.. if your hair is WET, won’t you be a little heavier? LOL.  And “SELF?” after a few food debaucles this week, can you afford to NOT dry your hair and PERHAPS weigh a little less?  But there was NO time to waste sistahs.. had to get the day going.  So off I went on my lonesome and complained and even almost brought my diffuser..LOL.. Wendy, my consultant thought I was a little BLITZED but laughed the whole way through our meeting.. I proceeded to strip (no boob fondling..LOL) and I lost 1.6!  WOOOOHOOOO.. can you imagine if I woulda dried my hair??? OMG! down 10 at least!  So my total so far is 8.6 and I think I deserve a sushi dinnah, no?

Ok we are VEHERRRY biZzy preparing for Scrapfest next week where I EXPECT to see you. The wonderful and talented Isabelle Norris will be demoing our replenished stock of VIVA DECOR product..  YOU CANNOT MISS IT!   Our booF number is 600… you will have no choice but to visit cuz we are right at the entrance.. should be fun!  We are also preparing for the CREATIV FESTIVAL the week after (God Help Me) where Paulabella will be DEMOING her brains out (LOL).. we are going to have a blast!

Ok now down to BIDNISS.  I didn’t have a chance to prepare for TANTALIZING TOOSDAY this week.. it will be on hold for the next couple of weeks due to show thing but it will resume afterwards, I promise!

The winner for last week’s TANTALIZING TOOSDAY is

It’s Bellarific Friday AGAIN!!!

Hiya sistahs!  I wanted to share a little cutesy thing that happened this morning.  We were all sitting down eating breakfast and as usual the tv is BLARING in the background.  The usual nonsense.. Spongebob and Fairly odd parents.. I will never understand those shows..LOL.  I usually tune the whole thing out but today something Timmy (LOL.. the fact that I know the main character) said resonated. He said “SOMETIMES, THE BEST DAD is the BEST MOM”.  How true is dat?  So I asked my Tyler if he thought that was true and he looks at me and says “IT’S THOOO (lisp) TRUE mom”.  He gets it!  I was so proud.

Today is another Jenny weigh in.  I was a bit of a disaster I must admit but I will PERSEVERE!

Now that my “depth” (lol) is out of the way, let’s discuss some winnahs from last week!
